Need a pre-listing appraisal? Contact Darin A Blatner

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price. If you're working with a real estate agent to sell your house, more than likely, they'll give you a comparative market analysis (or a CMA) that includes competing houses for sale in your town. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. This is a crucial step if your interests are to maximize profit and minimize your time on the market.

However, it's definitely in your best interest to have a third-party's objective opinion before you sign the Listing Agreement, even if you've been working with an experienced real estate agent.

That's where Darin A Blatner comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's features and a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales or "comps".

With today's ever-changing market conditions, you should definitely use a licensed appraiser to get a correct listing price for your home. Contact us today.

Darin A Blatner can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will entice potential buyers, and we can also:
  • Provide expert tips to help you negotiate once you have found a an interested buyer
  • Provide written proof of your home's quality inside and out to wow potential buyers
  • Eliminate last-minute repair hassles and make yourself aware of problems
  • Cut down the chances of unexpected problems that can cause sales to go up in smoke
  • Do away with waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the deal will close
Many people are surprised when they find out that the market value of their home is more than they estimated, so investing in a professional appraisal from us actually allowed these people to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. Others have an over-inflated opinion of their home's price value and an appraisal helped them to decide on a realistic price for their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced house will not attract serious buyers, which means no offers and no closing and that you have wasted valuable time, money, and efforts. And all the while you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

Upgrades that improve your home's value

Darin A Blatner can help you answer the many important questions to ask yourself before listing your house. Should we paint the whole house before we sell it... Is now the time to add a deck... Do I need to complete my closet remodel... Virtually any project can affect value in some way. But not everything will have the same bang for the buck. A kitchen remodel may improve the appeal of a home, but it may not justify the costs you'd pay.

Darin A Blatner can help you with these important decisions. Unlike a real estate agent, an appraiser has no vested interest in what amount the house sells for. Our appraisal fees are based on efforts to complete your report, and not a percentage of the sales price. So please consider ordering an appraisal from Darin A Blatner. When it comes to investing in your house and settling on a fair price to sell at, we'll help homeowners make the best decisions.
